Yeah, I had mine done at age 33.

I try hard not to become too caught up in my regret and sadness over not having the test available to me sooner. Almost no professional medical doctors know about it now, so it's not like I could have gotten it done in time to save all the years of agony over having severe MTHFR and not being medicated properly when i was younger. I would have had a much easier time in school, and in life in general.

But, I can't tell you how relieved I am to know that I'm not just lazy or useless, and that there was a legitimate medical reason for why doing things that seemed so easy for everyone else was so difficult for me.

I'm just very thankful that I've got another 30 or so years ahead of me where I get to have a better, more normal life experience. It makes me sad for those in the past that didn't have an explanation or a cure as to why they struggled so hard.
